Halt sugar tax introduction, urges food and drink industry

“The whole thing should be paused,” said Ian Wright, the director general of industry lobby group the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), whose members include the makers of Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Tango. “Confidence in the consumer goods market is very fragile and the government has promised not to impose any new burden on industry.”
